Sydney: Morgan Huxley
Queer Crime
01/16/21 • 27 min
Neutral Bay is a harbour-side suburb of Sydney, Australia; about 3 kms from Sydney’s central business district. It’s a beautiful, self-contained suburb on the shoreline which offers breath-taking views of the harbour and many shops, restaurants and cafes. It’s a popular spot for young professionals and middle-class families.
One such young professional who lived there was Morgan Huxley. This is the tragic tale of how a chance encounter ended Morgan’s life.

*** The language in this episode may be triggering for some listeners. The derogatory and transphobic words that appeared in my research are the words that I have used as I feel these highlight the bigoted views of people at the time of this crime. No offence is intended by using these words. ***
Porto is Portugal’s second largest city and is a world heritage site known for its six stately bridges, stunning old town and world-renowned production of port wine.
In 2006, Porto became the scene for the violent murder of a trans woman. A murder which outraged the public and which was the driving force for positive change in the treatment and legal protection of trans people.
This story contains the gruesome details of how everything can go wrong in life for someone. Discrimination, illness, poverty, degradation, violence, hate, ignorance, exclusion, transphobia and crushed dreams.

London: Michael Boothe
Queer Crime

Sometimes it takes an outrageous act of brutality, driven by hate, to bring about the change that is very much needed and long overdue.
Homosexuality in England was decriminalised in 1967. Despite this, homophobia in the 1980s was out of control. During the AIDS crisis, homophobia was inflamed by the tabloids and made worse by the Conservative government.
Four separate, violent murders of gay men over an 8-month period had such an impact on LGBT+ campaigners that they resulted in lasting changes to protections for LGBT+ people around the United Kingdom. Protections and rights which we have all come to appreciate and almost take for granted today.

Grand Rapids: Lethal Lesbians
Queer Crime
12/06/20 • 32 min
Grand Rapids is the economic and cultural hub of West Michigan. It is part of Michigan’s Bible Belt, has a strong education system, a well-established economy from manufacturing furniture, is a clean city with very little unemployment and quite a low crime rate.
Alpine Manor was a large nursing home in Grand Rapids which looked after around 200 elderly patients. It wasn’t a retirement home but more of a nursing home for people who had Alzheimer’s or were terminally ill. The very nature of such a nursing home taking care of unwell elderly patients meant a higher-than-average death rate.
The death rate was about to get higher...

Leeds: Mr Gay UK
Queer Crime
11/29/20 • 29 min
Located about 170 miles north of London, Leeds is the largest city in West Yorkshire and is the cultural, financial and commercial heart of the county. As with all major cities in the UK, Leeds is very LGBT+ inclusive and there are many LGBT+ events throughout the year including the Leeds Queer Film Festival, the Leeds LGBT Literature Festival and Leeds Pride. It's a warm and welcoming city ... but it has a dark past.

North Wales: Peter Moore

**APOLOGIES - THE SOUND QUALITY IS POOR ON THIS EPISODE. CHEERS, PATRICK. **
North Wales is known for its rugged beauty. With the Irish sea to the left and north, this stretch of coastline is, in parts, breath-taking but it also holds a sinister past which is breath-taking for different reasons.

New Orleans: The Upstairs Lounge
Queer Crime

**APOLOGIES - THE SOUND QUALITY IS POOR ON THIS EPISODE. CHEERS, PATRICK. **
New Orleans is a city in Louisiana on the Mississippi River. It's known for its parties, festivals and masquerade balls and has always had a reputation as being a place to have a good time. In the 1970s, it became known as the unofficial queer capital of the south. This doesn't mean that queer people were accepted...

*** I am closing Queer Crime but I will keep the episodes published so we do not lose these tragic stories. As a thank you for your support over the past two years, I’m publishing two Patreon episodes and one new episode. Good luck with everything and remember ... be kind to each other. ***
The only thing I can say about this man is that he is a monster.
New Orleans: Fernando Rios

In September 1958, a tour guide from Mexico called Fernando Rios was visiting New Orleans where he was leading a group of tourists around the city. At the end of a long day, he got dressed up for a night out. At the same time, three young men were planning their night out too.
This is Fernando’s story.
